~the best almanac singer~

I respect the point you tried to make, but I sorely regret you not immediately posting one of the songs most celebrated as patriotic literally saying private property should be abolished.

I also happen to prefer other songs he sang / the almanac singers performed about fighting fascists, but that's just my opinion.

"We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens. We are ready to hang, electrocute, or lynch anyone, who, from economic necessity, will risk his own life in the attempt upon that of some industrial magnate. Yet our hearts swell with pride at the thought that America is becoming the most powerful nation on earth, and that she will eventually plant her iron foot on the necks of all other nations.

Such is the logic of patriotism." - Emma Goldman from What is Patriotism?

Like did the people in the thread conspire to make this century-old quote so relevant?

Hahahaha anarcho-communism, about as likely as anarcho-capitalism

i dunno, i think we're way closer to a society controlled by capital & corporations, than one governed by workers & communes. 

 

those two verses of "This Land Is Your Land" were taken out for a reason, you know

That's more of a corporatist society, not an anarchic one.
